Let your four-pawed friend feel like top dog whilst staying in this exceptional holiday home. Expertly styled and extremely comfortable, this detached property promises a truly unforgettable stay in Kent’s countryside. Go mutts for the beautiful interiors and the sprawling grassy garden – the latter an enviable place for pets and kids to get stuck into a ball game on a sunny afternoon. In total, the property hosts eight guests and two pup pals, and the many wonderful appeals of Kent’s coast and countryside make it a perfect destination for groups of all ages.

Have a fetching time amongst plush carpets, sophisticated soft furnishings and rich tones across both floors of this detached abode. Let your four-pawed pal bound inside, exploring the large kitchen, the dining room that’s built for entertaining, and two separate lounge spaces. The first is a sitting room with a large wood burner, ready to keep your canine companions cosy and warm, whilst the second is a cinema-style room with a large Smart TV. Four bedrooms are exceptionally well-presented on the first floor – one with an en-suite, and the others sharing a family bathroom. Finally, outside, a large lawned garden features outdoor furniture, a BBQ, and plenty of space for Rover to run around. There’s also private parking.

Set between the High Weald National Landscape and the Kent Downs (both approx. 8 miles away), you’re perfectly positioned for exploring the beauty of southern England, with Fido leading the way. Leave no stick unfetched along the coastline, exploring beautiful beaches from St Mary’s Bay (13 miles) down to the Dungeness Nature Reserve (16.5 miles), or take a day trip to the attractive town of Rye (14 miles), where you’ll find pet-welcoming pubs, cafés and shops.

This is the best cottage we have stayed in by far, beautifully maintained, decorated, modern but with traditional structure. Extremely well equipped in the kitchen and throughout, beds, furnishings and showers were fantastic and comfortable. Easy to find and a perfectly detailed manual plus efficient heating, lovely large seating areas We would loRead moreve to come back to the exact cottage and re do the whole experience. Worth every penny and very thoughtful practical owners who thought of everything. Hide

This is a lovely property. There is plenty of room for a large family or group of friends. We did struggle to keep the property warm, but we didnt raise this during our stay. We enjoyed our stay and very close to Ashford.
